Time and energy savings as well as production increases lead to a better return.




End - Spinning Preparation Innovations J 26 Air-jet Spinning Machine

With the J 26, Rieter extends the application range for air-jet technology and presents an additionally optimised machine

New: Processing of polyester with P 26 With the processing of polyester, the challenge lies in the deposits of spinning finish and co-polymers. For this reason, Rieter now offers the option P 26 which significantly extends the time between the necessary cleaning operations

A new option is the application of six robots on the machine. This allows applications which imply a higher rate of ends down or quality cuts to be processed.

New option for soft yarns: The majority of air-jet yarns are later processed to knitted fabrics which require a softer touch. To this end, Rieter has developed technology components and setting parameters.

Rieter has for many years successfully used the Q 10 A yarn clearer in rotor spinning. Now it has been further developed for air-jet spinning. Based on an accurate monitoring of yarn structure, hairiness and yarn diameter, it interprets not only the standard functions but also the yarn tenacity




Options of the K 46 Com4 Compact Spinning Machine With 1824 spinning positions, the K 46 Com4 compact spinning machine increases the

production per square metre in the spinning mill Rieter now offers a quality package for the K 46 that leads to a significant

improvement of the quality parameters CVm and IPI. It is an ideal supplement for spinning mills with high quality requirements

The energy consumption per kilogram of spun yarn from Rieter compacting system with suction drum today already lies far below that of apron systems. The new double-sided suction system ECOrized for long compact spinning machines now additionally reduces the energy consumption

G 32 Ring Spinning Machine optimised The G 32 ring spinning machine is, like its big sister, the G 36 ring spinning machine, a

guarantee for economically produced ring yarns. Now available is the revised G 32 ring spinning machine with a maximum length of 1824 spindles and with the innovative suction tube ECOrized

In addition, a quality package for improvement of the yarn quality, a flexible change between S and Z twist and a special package for the processing of polyester is available. Best fit for this package is the new traveller STARLETplus from Bräcker. Moreover, Rieter has further improved the reliability of the machine.

Also the G 32 ring spinning machine can now be retrofitted with the suction tube ECOrized. This also applies to the machines G 33, G 35, G 36. The conversion with the suction tube ECOrized permits sustainable energy and cost savings

Allma Volkmann – Competence in twisting The CarpetTwister/CarpetCabler and Heat-SET offer even more customer

benefits Volkmann is winning over customers with the new CarpetTwister and

CarpetCabler product generation The new generation was awarded the E³ label for triple added value in the

areas of energy, economics and ergonomics The outstanding characteristics are the energy-saving spindle family and the

maximum quality with optimum economic efficiency. Spindle and spindle pot versions as well as drive and storage technology enable very high energy savings of up to 40%. With delivery speeds of up to 120 m/min during uptwisting, reduced space requirements due to smaller spindle gauge and the adaptation of the spindle speed, productivity can be increased by up to 45%

Operating times can be reduced by up to 8%, thanks to the pneumatic creel, threading aids, new pneumatic centrally adjustable creel yarn brakes and ball yarn brakes. A new feature is the computer controlled drive system, which enables a quick changeover to new yarn lots and the change of production parameters. This increases the machine availability and simplifies operation.




Allma Volkmann – Competence in twisting The TechnoCorder TC2 offers triple added value

The TechnoCorder TC2 was awarded the E³ label for triple added value in the areas of energy savings, productivity increase and ergonomic improvement

The TechnoCorder TC2 is winning over customers with its independent spindle technology, 400 m/min delivery speed and the 25% higher package density. And this pays off: productivity is up to 30% higher and energy costs drop by up to 10%

The TechnoCorder TC2 is distinguished by attractive developments, such as the new FlexiPly equipment for the production of hybrid yarns and the new larger 830 mm spindle spacing for the processing of coarse yarn counts. Energy-optimised modern drives and a lean yarn balloon, thanks to the optimized balloon geometry and height-adjustable balloon yarn guide, lead to low energy costs.

The independently driven spindles enable limitless possibilities for the creation of new twist constructions

Two spindle gauges cover a large range of yarn counts, from 235dtex to 33,000dtex. PrimePac quality twist packages can be manufactured according to individual needs. Compact twist packages save up to 30% in transport costs and make further processing more efficient

Special attention was given to the ergonomics, resulting in the independent spindle unit and new section concept enabling an ergonomically friendly spindle design. The operating elements and the entire spindle area can be easily accessed by the operating personnel. This saves set-up time.




Allma Volkmann – Competence in twisting Heat-SET shortens the production process of carpet yarns

After cabling, BCF carpet yarns are heat set in a second process step to stabilise the shape.

Volkmann integrates this process step in the cabling machine – cabling and heat setting in one process run

Interim storage and handling are no longer needed at all, process costs are clearly reduced and a significant contribution to economic efficiency is achieved with the faster order turnaround times, shorter process sequences and greater system utilisation.

T-SCAN TS-T5 – Foreign fiber separator White PP detection is improved Low energy & air consumption Low good fiber loss Low maintenance cost Can in fitted in existing cleaning lines

http://www.truetzschler-spinning.com/



Toyota-Truetzschler Comber – TCO 12A Automatic lap change Automatic piecing improves quality at greater level Jumbo cans of 1200 mm dia Increased nip rate up to 600 nips/min due to dual drive system

The draw frame product range has been further expanded Here, the focus is on increased efficiency and reduced personnel

requirements Development in the field of combing has also not stood still The Superlap requires less personnel and the Toyota-Trützschler

Comber will show new application-oriented features.http://www.truetzschler-spinning.com/



Quality yarns are only possible with efficient foreign part separation in the blow room. With three detection technologies in one machine, Trützschler has already set a high standard. At the ITMA, further technologies will be added to the existing three. As a result, separation is even more effective.

The data monitoring system T-Data is increasingly becoming standard. Due to Trützschler-specific sensors on the machines, important quality data that cannot be acquired by any other system can be managed and evaluated here. This includes for instance neps in the card sliver or the energy consumption of the machines.



Trützschler Card Clothing

Trützschler CARD CLOTHING has expanded its flats selection by two new products which have been developed for special applications

The flat top NOVOTOP 58 is optimally suited for application in the area of fine combed yarns at high production speeds

http://www.truetzschler-cardclothing.com/


Trützschler Man-made Fibers

Trützschler MAN-MADE FIBERS informs about new machines as well as new processes and end products. On the occasion of the ITMA, the company introduces a new generation of staple fibre machines to the market. The advancements stand under the heading of modularity - all components are designed as stand-alone units.

The new modular components demonstrate their advantages not only in complete Trützschler installations; they are also ideal plug-and-play units when modernising existing installations. Ever since the product range of the Egelsbach equipment manufacturer includes staple fibre spinning, the focus - in addition to machine manufacturing - is increasingly also on product development. Trützschler Man-Made Fibers’ „Hollow Conjugate Fibres“ are a new type of self-crimping fibres, distinguished by an extremely environmentally friendly spinning process.

The filament sector highlights the diversity of its product range for the economic production of high-quality carpet yarns. The focus is on the new 3-end spinning system M30 with reliable components such as the polymer-independent spin beam and the HPTex texturing system. The portfolio thus covers 2-end, 3-end and 4-end concepts for various polymers, including recycled material. Now it is possible to respond to all process requirements as well as spatial or economic conditions even more effectively.



Suessen Spinning

Innovative Compact Spinning System Reduces Cost Significantly The highlight will be the EliTe®CompactSet Advanced – a compact spinning

system with various new features. The goal of the new development was an increased lifetime of many components, such as lattice aprons and inserts and the reduction of maintenance costs

With the flip-over technology for example the housing can be used upside down, because top and bottom parts are identical. Different colours – red and yellow – indicate the two sides. As a result the use of top roller cots can be doubled. Customers benefit from lower costs for maintenance, handling, and alignment. In addition, the top roller cots on the new system have bigger diameters –The lifetime of the larger cots is substantially longer; an improvement in lifetime of up to 165 % is possible.

Suessen presents various new Premium Parts for rotor spinning machines. The new TwistTrap-Navel has a modified nozzle, combined with a patented twist-retaining element. The TwistTrap-Navel, which is applicable to all types of spinboxes, provides an additional false twist, which results in better spinning stability. The production can increase by 10 % to 15 % due to the possible twist reduction. Another new Premium Part is the PS7 TwinDisc – a support disc with reduced width. The reduction from 10 mm to 7 mm results in less flexing work between rotor shaft and disc. The benefit is a lower energy consumption; savings of up to 11 Watt are possible, depending on the rotor speed.

Marzoli Spinning Solutions

Marzoli New Compact System Marzoli launched its new compact device Compact devices are increasingly used in spinning mills: the positive

aspects stemming from their application (e.g. higher resistance, lower required twist, less hairiness, etc.) have fostered spinners to apply compact devices on an increasing variety of counts (coarse, medium, thin and extra-thin counts) and types of yarn (combed, carded and synthetic yarns). Marzoli Compact System constitutes a leading-edge application that guarantees top performance, high flexibility towards specific production requirements, minimized maintenance.

Marzoli Remote Maintenance (MRM) was presented, that allows to monitor and control all instruments of a production unit through the use of any mobile device

http://www.marzoli.com/



The new FT60/FT70 Series Roving Frames FT60 and FT70 roving frames rely on multi-motor drive systems and

modular design, allowing to reach up to 224 spindles. The completely electronic drafting system of Marzoli FT60 and FT70 series

ensures the highest degree of flexibility: the draft can be changed by simply inserting the new draft parameter on the touch screen interface, no mechanical modification is required. Thanks to Marzoli’s end-to-end production management platform (YARNET), the draft can also be inserted remotely (e.g. from the production manager’s computer).

FT60 and FT70 roving frames are fully integrated with Marzoli Bobbin Transport systems and ring frames through specific mechanic solutions (e.g. dedicated creel system for transport trains) and software production control platform (YARNET), thus realizing a superior and fully integrated Spinning Section maximizing overall coordination and effectiveness of roving and spinning operations through a constant and regular supply for the spinning frames, allowing for full and enhanced productivity of the spindles.

Marzoli’s FT60 and FT70 roving frames represent outstanding machines also from the point of view of energy savings thanks to Marzoli most advanced on-board green technology.




The New CM7 Comber new CM7 comber with automatic Lap Piecing The new CM7-LP comber is the result of a thorough activity of research and

development that has led to the achievement of the maximum results on: Quality (substantial reduction of neps and short fibers, perfect evenness of the sliver) Productivity (mechanical speed up to 600 nips/min with production volumes up to 85

Kg/h) Efficiency (reduction in energy consumption, better selection of fibers and reduction of

noil percentage); These results have been achieved with optimization of the following parts: driving

head, nipper unit, feeding rollers, detaching rollers, circular comb, top comb and drafting system.

Premium efficiency electric motors grant electric efficiency standards over 90% entailing almost no energy waste and much lower power consumption levels

One of the greatest innovations introduced with the new CM7 comber is the automatic lap piecing technology. This technology automatically changes the empty tubes with full laps and restarts the machine without the operator intervention. This highly reliable system allows to increase the efficiency of the machine thanks to the reduction of machine downtimes and operator’s effort. Moreover, the automatic lap piecing system also has a positive influence on quality as it entails the perfect overlapping of the two batts thereby increasing the regularity of the sliver also in the points where lap change has occurred.




Advanced Integrated Bobbin Transport System. Marzoli Bobbin Transport systems highlight full mechanical and logic

integration with roving and spinning frames thus realizing a superior and integrated Spinning Section maximizing overall coordination and effectiveness of roving and spinning operations through a constant and regular supply for the spinning frames allowing for full productivity of the spindles

VSB Size Box Consists of three highly turbulent, uniform application zones with

patented application and squeeze rollers and a spray bar system Up to 10% fewer sizing additives are needed, energy consumption is

reduced during desizing and less effluent is produced Efficient size filtration produces a more uniform size film and

generates less dust



Applying the size from a spray nozzle under pressure also results in an extremely uniform application, This is due to uniform concentrations, temperatures and viscosities as a result of the high size circulation rate

The uniform liquor application also enables the double size box to be converted to a single size box

Offers advantages in terms of its ergonomics and clear layout The special design enables the warp sheet to be operated vertically

during delivery, which provides enough space for easy access to the machine, unrestricted view for operator

Extremely flexible Working range of the size bath - depends on the number of yarn

ends and the yarn count, may be as much as 20% higher


Technical Textile



The next generation of the HKS MSUS - the new Wefttronic® HKS KARL MAYER has improved and revamped the tried-and-tested concept of its

Wefttronic® RS series and transferred it to the HKS MSUS. The result is the Wefttronic® HKS. The

Weft-insertion system and the fabric take-up were at the heart of the steps taken to optimize this machine platform

On one hand, the design (arrangement) of these two components guarantees accurate, high-quality processing of the weft yarns. On the other hand, the machine is easy to assemble, which enables it to be integrated quickly into the production process. This reduces the assembly time

Other features of the Wefttronic® HKS are its new, modern look, which is in keeping with KARL MAYER’s new corporate machine design, the integration of the KAMCOS® 2 system, and the implementation of the company’s own CFRP concept

This all adds up to the new weft-insertion machine having an excellent price-performance ratio and being highly efficient with speeds of up to 1,500 min-1.

This new machine is also equipped with the unique gauge of E 40, which gives much more room for manoeuvre when designing products, as the machine on show at the ITMA trade fair will be demonstrating

A Wefttronic® HKS, with a width of 213", is produced a fine interlining fabric in Milan. This is lighter than any interlining ever produced before and has a comparable weight to a woven fabric. When used in clothing, this new interlining provides an excellent fit without creasing, dimensional stability and optimum comfort

DILO Group

Dilo-Line: Large production line with a working width of 7 m In Milan Dilo Group exhibits two complete lines to show the broad

scope of its portfolio It shows a staple fibre needling line for the production of technical

textiles in wide working width which is especially suitable to produce for example geotextiles

“UniFeed”: New Card Feeder VRS-P The VRS-P feeder combines the principle of volumetric precisely

charged feeding, with the characteristics of a vibration chute feeder and eliminates a conventional large trunk (on the top). This results in a better and more homogeneous distribution of the fibre flocks.

Furthermore, a lower ceiling height of the building reduces the costs for the construction of the factory and its operating expenses.

The fibre flock matt is condensed by a vacuum delivery apron for a better uniformity of the fibre mass distribution. Additional flaps control the fibre distribution over the working width.

Card feeders of the VRS series are especially adapted for medium-fine to coarse, and medium to long staple fibres.

DILO Group

New card series “VectorQuadroCard” with variable “intermediate transfer” The newly developed card “VectorQuadroCard” incorporates a completely new

“modular transfer group” between breast and main section. The flexible and quick change of this “transfer group” makes possible three different card types:

type VQ-Q with a “Quattro group” to improve web evenness and fibre blending, arranged as a double transfer between preopener and main cylinder with two doffers and two transfer rollers to the main cylinder

type VQ-V with a top doffer together with a transfer roller and a lower transfer roller to increase the throughput by using the “doubling effect” between preopener and main cylinder

type VQ-T with only one transfer roller between preopener and main cylinder. The model series VQC uses 4 worker/stripper pairs of rollers on the preopener and

five worker/stripper pairs on the main cylinder. Furthermore, the delivery system is also very flexible and may be combined in different variations:

With two doffer rollers and respective parallel delivery system With pairs of doffer rollers and condenser rolls top and bottom as random card with random rollers, doffers, condenser rolls and take-off rollers

The universal model series “VectorQuadroCard” comprises variable components for all kinds of applications. Focus is laid on high throughput with good web quality. The “VQC” exhibited at the show with a working width of 3.2 m is designed for the geotextile sector



DILO Group

Super-DLSC 200: New Crosslapper withSpeed 200 m/min The new crosslapper type “Super-DLSC 200” allows electro-mechanical

speeds of up to 200m/min for web infeed speeds, depending on the fibre specification

It aims at reducing a possible bottleneck for the total throughput of the complete installation

At the crosslapper infeed Dilo has installed the proven “CV1A” web regulation system for an improved evenness of the needlefelt with a great potential for fibre savings. This very high web infeed speed has been made possible by a further increase of the drive power within the “3-apron-layering technology”

All drives for the aprons and the layering carriages are direct water-cooled torque motors to improve the acceleration with reduced gear wear

In addition, they have taken special measures to eliminate and reduce apron vibrations in order to achieve an exact web overlapping (lap joints)

Furthermore, they have installed a “web guiding system” (FLS) to avoid wrinkles for example at the speed change of the upper carriage. The web infeed width is 3.2 m, the layering width is 7.0 m



DILO Group

DI-LOOM AB: Pre-Needleloom with improved efficiency After the crosslapper, Dilo will shows a new needleloom type DI-

LOOM OD-II AB with CBF feeding system When designing this model series, Dilo has laid special emphasis on

cost effectiveness in the preneedling machine. The model series DI-LOOM AB has a very favourable price-performance ratio

“DCL Dilo-Compact Line”: Compact production line, working width 2,2 m In addition to wide needling lines for the economic production of

large volume products as in the geotextile industry, Dilo will show a compact line which is designed for the production of small amounts of high quality felts used in the medical sector and for specialty felts made from fibres such as carbon. The working width of the compact carding machine is 1.1 m, the layering width is 2.2 m.



DILO Group

“X22”: Dilo needle module technology The needleloom of the compact line is the first to use needle

modules. The needle module technology has been designed especially for the intense needling of the model series

Hyperpunch and Cyclopunch in order to allow an economic needle insertion of these boards with more than 20.000 needles/m/board. The compact needle loom shows the module technology in a classical fishbone arrangement, each module comprising 22 needles

A graphic simulation shows the automatic insertion of the needle boards in the “Modulmaster” using needle modules

These new approaches illustrate the economic effectiveness of module technology

Furthermore, the insertion speed and precision are considerably increased by “X22 module technology” compared to single needle insertion



DILO Group

“VPX 2020”: “Dilo-Variopunch” – New needling technology The new “Variopunch technology” is based on a modified needle

module technology which can erase bad spots in the felt by a variable needle arrangement in order to achieve a better evenness of the stitching pattern

The basics of the completely new needling technology VPX200 is presented with the aid of graphic simulations

Variopunch allows a very homogeneous distribution of stitches for better surface quality in automotive applications

Dilo shows numerous needlefelt samples for many different applications

Yingyang Nonwoven Machinery

The VLS – a completely new vertical lapping system incorporating a uniquely-designed thermal bonding oven

Vertically-lapped nonwovens are highly advantageous in the automotive industry, primarily for the weight savings they afford, but also because the materials are chemical free, unaffected by oil and water and totally recyclable

The VLS line is a 100% closed and zero waste system for their production and several global patents are in the process of being secured for it

It allows the fibers to be orientated in a truly vertical structure and in material thicknesses of up to of 100mm and in an extremely wide weight range from 250 to 4,000 gsm

It is based on a single card design and eliminates the need for the additional card and crosslapper employed by other systems, making it both extremely simple – with just six drive rods, rather than the usual ten – compact and highly cost effective

The unique VLS oven has both top and bottom belts which control and accurately gauge the structure thickness of the material from the moment of the vertical structure formation, guaranteeing total control throughout the process

The VLS can process all fibers which are suitable for carding, both natural and synthetic, with the resulting nonwoven density depending on their selection and denier

Testing has proven that the resilience of the VLS nonwovens in terms of loft regain is far superior to that of both air-laid nonwovens and cross-laid and thermally-bonded high loft materialshttp://www.china-nonwovens.com/news_detail/newsId=6.html
